6th graders about the Columbus Day:
• ’I think this Columbus Day was very good.’ • ’The first performance was made by the 4th graders. It was really cool. There was a big map made by them.’ Vencel • ’My favourite show was the 8th grader’s song. They took a Christmas song and turned it into their own song.’ Szilard • ’Everybody put a little piece into this day to make it perfect.’ Zsofi • ’The film of the 7th graders was great and this was the funniest piece at the show.’ Tomi • ’The 5th graders told the story of Columbus’ birth, and how he went to the Spanish king and queen. Then they demonstrated the journey and the arrival. Then the Indians kidnapped them and after a lot of ’complications’ they became friends.’ Laci

Game review:
Hi, this is Zeti. I am here with another game review. This month it is about Space Engineers; a creativity-based game. You can build ships. But first you need resources. You can get resources by mining. This is not easy to mine by yourself but step by step you will get enough resource to build a mining ship, and later a ship for travelling. Explore multiple planets and have fun. Thanks for reading. By Zeti

December News
Ho-ho-ho-ho! This is December and Christmas. I am Daniel and I am here to inform you again. Advent has already begun as you are reading this newsletter. On the 6th, Santa is going to visit us and give gifts to the good kids. We hope that nobody was rude or selfish or behaved badly. On the same day, there is going to be a competition called Santa Claus Football Cup. It will be a great soccer tournament. May the best football team win the beautiful, shiny trophies. A few days later the traditional Christmas Fair will be organized. Basically, each class can sell home-made stuff and delicious food. Make sure to check out every class’ stall. Five days after this fantastic fair, you can make little present for your family and friends (and of course for yourself) at the Advent Workshop. One day before the holiday, on the 21st, you can come to the St. Gellert Church to listen to an amazing concert given by the school’s musicians and singers. I bet the concert will be fantastic and charming. On the day after the concert you can finally take a break with your family and friends (or alone), as it is the beginning of the famous Winter Break. And we can meet relaxed in 2o18. Happy New Year. By Daniel and Domi

American pancake
Serves: 4-6 •
2½ teaspoons baking powder
•
1 pinch of salt
•
1 teaspoon white sugar
•
2 large eggs (beaten)
•
30 grams butter (melted and cooled)
•
300 milliliters milk
•
225 grams plain flour
•
butter for frying 1. The easiest way to make these is to put all the ingredients into a blender and blitz. But if you do mix up the batter by hand in a bowl, make a well in the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, beat in the eggs, melted butter and milk, and transfer to a jug: it's much easier to pour the batter into the pan than to spoon it. 2. Heat a smooth griddle or pan on the stove. 3. When you bake the pancakes, all you need to remember is that when the upper side of the pancake is blistering and bubbling it's time to bake the other side, and this needs only about 1 minute.

Christmas films
If you have nothing else to do, just drink a hot chocolate in front of the TV and read this article because I am showing you 3 Christmas films.
1. The Grinch This is my favorite Xmas film. Grinch didn't love Xmas because when he was a kid he made a beautiful present for a girl, but Grinch's classmates ridiculed him. From that time on he loathed Xmas. He went to the mountain and lived there. With a little girl, they tried to steal Christmas. Did the succeed?
2. The Christmas Vacation This film is very old but very funny. Clark and his family's Xmas becomes very complicated because his wife’s family visits them. Their Xmas becomes a disaster.
3. Holiday in handcuffs This film is very funny. Trudie is painter but she works as a waiter. Her family would like her to have boyfriend. Therefore, she kidnaps and forces David (one of her customers) to tell that he is her real boyfriend.

Xmas candle Materials: empty, clean glass bottle colorful glitters hobby liquid glue old paintbrush marker
How to make it? 1. Use the marker and draw something on your bottle. I made „snail sample�. But you can draw snowflakes, snowmen, gingerbread cookies, or anything you like. 2. Then follow the line you draw, and put glue there. Sprinkle the glitters on the glue and repeat it again, and again. 3. Wait until it dries and put some candles into it. It`s shining nicely, isn`t it? 7
Places where you can travel to in winter Lapland: Lapland is in Finland. In winter, it's magical and amazing. If you have a child, you must go there cause the real Santa, who is gives you presents, lives there. In Lapland, you can see reindeers but Rudolf isn't there☺. Kitzbühel, Austria: Kitzbühel is not a big town. In winter, there's a lot of snow and the weather is always perfect. Kitzbühel is a good place to ski too. There are many beautiful hüttes, where the view is straight away amazing. The town is very "little" but special, and the hotels are very good. Paris, France: Everyone thinks that Paris is the city of love but it's the city of Christmas too. At Christmas time, the city is full of lights. When you walk on the Champs Elysees you see everyone buying gifts, and ornaments. In the stores, everyone says: Joyeux Noel! ☺ Vienna, Austria: Wien is very close to Hungary. You can go there by car. And if you go there you MUST see the Christmas Fair. I’m sure that you have already seen the Christmas Fair in Budapest. It was amazing, wasn't it? The if you saw the Christmas Fair in Wien... It's just magical. By Maja and Villő
